His unforgettable smile brought comfort and healing to all. Eddie never met a stranger and treated everyone like his brothers and sisters. He was a true farmer in every sense, planting seeds of love and hope in anyone he crossed paths with. He enjoyed raising crops for the Diaz Produce Stand and loved sharing stories even more.
His legacy will live on within each soul he has touched. He lived and walked this earth as Christ has commanded us to. To honor his memory, his family encourages an act of kindness in his name or a memorial contribution to the Deming Luna County Senior Citizens Center.
